Mind Your Buccanneers....


Arrr!
Today, me hearty's, our scurvy crew cruise the shipping routes of State Highway 3, seeking plunder & potholes. We visit the various hell holes of the pacific, though sore sick with the grog from the night before.
Gather round ye swabs,
Here be a pirate tale about a bonny lass.
Anne Bonny

"She soon became romantically involved with the dashing pirate "Calico Jack" Rackham (nicknamed for his loud striped pants), who had just commandeered a ship full of liquor from his former boss, pirate captain Charles Vane. When James Bonny objected to the affair, he abducted Anne, brought her naked before the governor and charged her with the felony of deserting him�Anne was considered to be stolen property. Calico Jack suggested instead putting Anne up for sale to the highest bidder, a 'kinder' legal practice for divorce at the time. Despite Jack's rather less-than-romantic proposal, as well as a court order James got forbidding Jack and Anne to see each other, Anne ran away with Calico Jack, joining his ship's crew, apparently disguised as a man."
